Zen Colouring Advanced Art Therapy

I recently bought this in Morrisons, after seeing it advertised on the TV. I've wanted it for a while, but always been convinced it's such a silly idea, and pretty childish!  But, I thought,  hell why not?! It's such a good idea. Whenever I feel down, stressed or anxious, I always feel like I need to do something but never feel like watching anything or writing anything or listening to music as it just doesn't appeal to me. However, the other day I was feeling extremely anxious and worked up and thought I'd try a page of this book, and honestly, it worked! Within 5 minutes of colouring (feels so weird writing that!) I had calmed down and had a less bogged up mind.

I highly recommend this book and others in their collection for everyone, not just those suffering with mental illness. It's a nice activity to do to relax after a long hard day at work, college, school or university.
